Study Notes
Current Fault Detection System
- Four current sensors are connected in series on the transmission line, with outputs sent to a microcontroller.
- Microcontroller detects fault types in the transmission line and displays results on an LCD for monitoring.
- Capable of identifying four fault types:
- Single Line to Ground Fault (L-G)
- Double Line Fault (L-L)
- Double Line to Ground Fault (L-L-G)
- Three Phase Fault (L-L-LG)
- Transmission line development employs 22-gauge wire with a resistance of 100 ohms and three 220V to 12V step-down transformers.
